Nostalgia is truly a curse. It deadens the intellect and narrows the horizons of imagination. The vast majority of bands coming out today are evidence of this. Putrefied, zombified echoes of shit that was already godawful when it was new. Copies of copies, consumed thoughtlessly.

Our 50 favorite LPs of 2025 include @hachikumusic, @TheStartingLine, @anxiousct, @ArmandHammerNYC, @TURNSTILEHC, @acloudyskye, @prettybittermp3, @wetlegband, @crushedwrldwide, @ninajirachi, @MassaNera, @bigthiefmusic, and a ton more! Read the full list:

The Emptiness of All Things record release show is TOMORROW! Be at Cinco de Mayo in New Brunswick, NJ at 6:30pm. No one turned away for lack or funds.

This is our only show for the time being. It's going to be a fun one.

“The self-pity to play the victim and claim to be some liberal advocate for peace and decency while ‘allegedly’ harassing students protesting a literal genocide struck me as ghoulish.” Read our interview with @MassaNera:

The Emptiness of All Things is now ready for order. If you snagged a copy, expect it soon! It now comes with two inserts for the price of one, courtesy of Joseph Allen Baker.

@AnnieisUndead Is this your first time jamming this???? Fuck yeah. Legendary shit.

NJ/NY/PA FOLKS: We're playing a record release show for The Emptiness of All Things on 12/19 at Cinco De Mayo New Brunswick. Details are on the flyer. This is our only scheduled show for the time being. If you're interested, consider pulling up!

[MASSA NERA @MassaNera]

@xxxtactician1 Always been more partial to "Travel by Telephone" and "Undercovers On," but this song is still an all-timer. My high school band covered it (poorly) at a backyard show, to absolutely no fanfare.

[MASSA NERA @MassaNera]

Mark's other band is playing at Cinco de Mayo tomorrow night. NOTAFLAF.

All door money goes to Cinco, since slamdance-loving chuds insist on trashing the place. Ever hear of respecting a space? Fucking idiots.

Anyways, come to this show if you aren't a mouthbreathing fuckwit.

[MASSA NERA @MassaNera]

@Gay__Edge That would be fucking sick! When we start touring again, we'd be down.

[MASSA NERA @MassaNera]

@HolIowManGiggs No need to apologize! "Octanecore" and risecore are equally putrid.

[MASSA NERA @MassaNera]

This Rise Records-core revival is baffling. 99% of that music sucked when it was new. Who was asking for a carbon copy of this dogshit 15 years after the fact? It's farcical and beyond pity.

[MASSA NERA @MassaNera]

@jiezist Given what I've heard, I have to respectfully disagree.

[MASSA NERA @MassaNera]

@Tylerban Having lived through that time, I can assure you it was not a golden era. If it feels like such compared to the present, that's a testament to how bad things are now, not how good things were then.

[MASSA NERA @MassaNera]

@kai_entai Fucking SAME.

[MASSA NERA @MassaNera]

Looks like The Emptiness of All Things is on a few file-sharing sites. Quibblrs about redundancy aside (since the album is already free), I'm stoked on this. I found most of my favorite artists on similar sites. It's kind of wild to see our music on them.

My health insurance premiums are set to increase 430% in 2026. We need an army of Luigis.

[MASSA NERA @MassaNera]

Taking a break from the soul-crushing debasement of PR to read Story of an Eye. I can see why this was allegedly Björk's favorite book.

More words on TEoAT: according to No Clean Singing, it has "brittle and sorrowful fragility; screeching dissonance; evanescing ethereality; boiling and abrasive derangement; jazzy delirium; clanging confusion; pulverizing pile-driving punishment; and feverishly pulsating menace."
